But he could sense the aftermath of their battles. And just that sent a chill down his spine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The invisible, all encompassing laws were collapsing wherever the traces of fighting remained. The universe was unravelling there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This fight was beyond his level. Possessing such power, no wonder Architect looked down on him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And figuring his way to reach that strength, God Emperor too saw him nothing more than a pawn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Both of you used me as a pawn for your agenda.\" Varian closed his eyes. \"That pawn will now flip the board.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He pushed his divine paths to the limit, to hit the the bottleneck to rank 3. But to his surprise, it wasn't even there!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were two possible reasons for this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One, Architect was fully engaged with God Emperor, unable to spare any power on enforcing this ban. Perhaps the unravelling of the laws also caused this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two, since Varian generated the slivers of order and chaos internally, it somehow allowed him to bypass that ban.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn't know which of the two was the cause.
